Chalkboard Wall Decal

Sometime last year, I bought 2 set of chalkboard decals - a growth chart tree with squirrels and a set of squarish ones.

We immediately put up the growth chart in the kids' bedroom. The other set, I had planned on covering up this piece of wall in between the kitchen and dining area where the kids had done some drawings when they were around 1.5 years old. We've been unable to clean this up as it's been a combination of different sorts of pens they've managed to get their hands on. Anyway, for some strange reasons, they only wrote on this bit of wall and nowhere else in the apartment.

I hesitated putting the chalkboard decals to cover this wall as I didn't want to cut it up. After a year, I decided to just do it and put up the chalkboard decals on. Was so glad I did as it made a lot of difference. The kids immediately 'attacked' the wall and started doing some scribbles. At least this time they know they have to use chalk.
